This and the rest of the pages in this series are about ‘weird’ atmospheric atmospheres with examples of what I and others I know have experienced of ‘weird’ events and ‘encounters’ while in these conditions.
I’ve noticed that on some days the general atmosphere as in the actual ‘atmospheric’ conditions are presented as being very still, silent, almost surreal and at times very ‘spooky’. On virtually all such days the sky is either very overcast (can even look ‘foreboding’), it’s drizzly or it’s misty or foggy to varying degrees. Visibility can be very good to not good at all on these days.
On such days, if there is even a slight ‘blustery’ breeze this often ‘kills’ the ambiance and spookiness.
In thinking about this then I think it’s very possible that if you’re in any wind at all, even a slight breeze then all the sensory engagement that we are subjected to due to the breeze or wind will overload our senses in a general sense and so make it much more difficult in the breeze ‘static’ for us to be able to deeply perceptually engage with the environment around us.
I noticed this recently because in looking out of the window it looked like one of these days BUT the moment I stepped outside it was immediately obvious it wasn’t and this was because there was a slight but noticeable blustery breeze.
Why are some days Spooky with a Surreal Silent Atmosphere?
During these atmospheres I personally feel as if my senses are stretching to try and become aware of anything within them that is; ‘going on’ however, paradoxically while I am under the ‘impression’ that I am personally more sensitive in these particular conditions I actually feel as if my awareness and sensitivity are reduced and are not actually functioning as well as they do even under ‘normal’ conditions of use.
You could say that these specific conditions make me ‘feel’ as if my own senses are blanketed or dulled while paradoxically at the same time these particular ‘conditions’ (for me) quite often engender the feeling that ‘something’ is about to happen or could happen or is actually happening, but is being kept hidden.
The other odd thing that I’ve noticed about these atmospheric ‘atmospheres’ is that people in them often become quiet, don’t talk, stop talking or start talking quietly, in general people make less noise, while ‘noises’ in general seem to be blanketed or suppressed. It’s almost as if people go round on tip toe trying to be quiet.
Are Spooky Surreal Silent Atmosphere Days DELIBERATELY Hiding Spooky Things?
Yet another, other thing I’ve noticed about these specific atmospheric ‘atmospheres’ is that ‘IF’ something ‘weird’ does happen while you are in them then it seems difficult to talk about them either while they are happening as well as afterwards. It’s almost as if the suppressing ‘blanketing’ carries over in some psychological way that makes it difficult to talk about weird ‘incidents’ that happened during these.
It’s also interesting in that as I’ve been trying to write the above then I’ve been becoming aware that it’s actually very difficult to write about these ‘atmosphere’ experiences in any detail and perhaps specifically in the terms I’m trying to frame them in. At the point I am writing this line for example I’ve only written 4 short paragraphs and I’ve had to slowly edit, expand and re-write these probably about 30 times so far. This was also while feeling that a lot of what I’ve already written is still ‘not right’ and that I’m missing a lot that I’ve not quite thought of yet.
As you are reading the following pages, try and think of any of your own experiences that included any of these types of ‘atmospheres’ and particularly of anything weird you experienced while these types of atmospheres were presenting themselves.
I am in a group that is currently discussing the characteristics, attributes, virtues, and vices of the Element Air, including Guardians and Deities associated with Air. The spooky feeling fits right in with our study of the Elements. I, too, have experienced that feeling like there’s something unseen, not unlike the ghosts in the Christmas Carol scene outside the window. Usually felt in in fog but also on extremely windy days in El Paso, Texas. It’s impossible to describe an experience to another, to paraphrase the Buddha, but when two people have experienced, say the Uncreated Light to paraphrase the Eastern Orthodox writers, you recognize the experience immediately.
Thanks for attempting to describe this. I wish I could but other than to say you feel like you are not alone is about it.
Hi Barbara, yea, it took months just to write this page – it was seriously difficult to think about. I’ve three more pages on these areas there should be a new page up here every couple of days now until they are all up.
As I am reading the new spooky atmospheric pages, I notice that the rainy weather is colder and foggier than usual. I know December weather in my neighbourhood can get foggy (or filled with smog) at times, yet I cannot help but observe the weird coincidence between this afternoon’s weather and the appearance of these pages.
I am blocked from remembering my own spooky atmospheric experiences (if I have any to begin with). All I can write about is that I tend to feel as if I were in a horror film shooting location whenever I find myself in foggy forested areas at night.
This is a good example of the spooky atmospheres doing their best to remain hidden–I have been checking the site quite conscientiously and checking comments to look for new areas and revelations and completely missed this. I also notice that as I look at the pictures presented on the website I feel SERIOUSLY averse to making any comment whatsoever.
Clive describes ‘4 paragraphs’ and fighting tooth and nail with incredibly willpower to expand it which I completely understand – when I check back the second picture on this page literally has me going into an inner ‘dampening’ / damper space – I have experienced on other occasions the feeling of a hand pushing on my solar plexus to completely stop and depress my ‘speech’ and expression button and I experience it incredibly strongly while looking at this picture. I also get a very similar feeling to what I felt when experiencing and trying to describe my own ‘spooky alien’ experience which seems very unlikely to be a coincidence.
i have also experienced a few similar situations within the past 3 or so years. about 3-4 different times, always happens at night,after dark. i go out into my back yard at night almost always and just look at the sky,moon, stars, and i just stare and ponder many things and enjoy the peaceful time when most everyone else are sleeping, this is my favorite time because my senses are more relaxed and i dont feel everyones thoughts and feelings in my vicinity. anyway, a few times i stood on the grass and the sky looked weird, different, almost like it was not real,like a simulation or something and i strain to hear something,anything at all but all i heard was absolute silence, no far away traffic,no heaters or air conditioners going at the houses in my neighborhood,no bird chirping in their sleep, no wind, nothing, absolutely felt as if time suddenly did not exist, like the world had just stopped,like there was no life but mine,i felt absolutely all alone in the universe, it didnt feel scarey, just very eerie, very strange and just like you described the feeling that something was about to happen or was happening or had just happened, i had a deep feeling of expectation and readiness for whatever it could be. each time i stood there quite a while before i started to feel exposed to something like a sitting duck and each time i would start to feel frightened a bit and i went inside because i felt unsafe suddenly. and 1 time this happened i came inside and opened up my laptop and whatever was on the page (i think it was facebook) i could not read the words at all because the words were not in english, they were words in a strange unknown language i had never seen and i pushed the back button a few times, same thing! i was overwhelmed at the strangeness and i just shut my computer off and layed my head back and closed my eyes to keep myself from having a panick attack. then after a while things were back to normal again. i never even told anyone because it was quite unexplainable and crazy sounding and i didnt want anyone to think i had lost my mind. i am of complete sound mind and i know this was real and really happened. i just wish i understood what the heck it was.
